In the coming year of 2026, Good Smile Arts Shanghai will release its 1/7 scale figurine of Guren from Goddess of Victory: NIKKE.Guren is widely regarded as one of the most recognisable members of the Pioneer squad in the game, and her design has continued to maintain strong appeal since her introduction.
◆Translating Digital Artwork into a Figurine
Turning an illustrated character into a sculpted figurine requires careful judgment. The sculptor must keep the spirit of the original design while creating a stable form that works with real materials. Good Smile Arts Shanghai handles this by giving Guren a poised stance that suggests movement without going too far. Her body tilts gently to one side, and her hand rests against the structure that supports her blade.
Her expression is another important detail. She has a smile that shows quiet confidence.
The kasa hat is the most challenging element to translate into a figurine. Its size has a major impact on her silhouette, so the manufacturer has chosen to make it removable. When displaying the figurine, one can choose to show it with the hat on or off, offering two distinct looks. To support this feature, an extra back-hair piece is included, ensuring her hairstyle appears natural when the hat is not in use.
Her outfit includes belts, fabric layers, and a range of decorative and practical details. The sculpt arranges these features with care so they remain clear and do not merge visually. The paintwork separates soft and firm materials through gentle changes in finish. Metal areas have sharper edges and a stronger texture, while cloth sections appear smoother. The colours follow the official character art, keeping the figurine consistent with the game’s presentation.
◆The Blade Known as “Ten Day Camellia”
For many players, weapon design is an important part of a character’s identity. Guren’s sword, known in the game as Hana Nashi Jukkou or “Ten Day Camellia”, is a key element of her appearance. The figurine recreates the blade as it appears in the original artwork.
Behind the figure, a horizontal weapon mount supports the sword. This mount echoes the structure seen in character illustrations. It contributes to the overall composition by adding context without drawing focus away from the character. The presence of the blade, combined with the flowing costume elements, creates a balanced arrangement that viewers can appreciate from multiple angles.
◆Production Details and Display Considerations
The return of this figurine reflects ongoing interest from collectors. During the original release, its limited availability meant that many people were unable to purchase one, even if they wanted to. This second run gives those who missed it the first time an opportunity to obtain the figurine without turning to the resale market.
The re-release maintains the same specifications as the original. The sculpt, colour work, and included parts mirror the first edition.
The base provides structural support. It uses a rocky texture that hints at an outdoor setting. This approach allows the character herself to remain the central feature.
The option to display the figure with or without the hat, supported by the alternate hair piece, gives users control over the aesthetic. Some may prioritise a clear view of her face, while others may prefer the full thematic presence granted by the hat.
